Slightly related - when I run a cheap command in xterm (bitmap fonts) on X11 with a plain and fast window manager (no compositing) I often have this weird sensation that the output appears before I've actually hit the return key.
It might be just due to the surprise given how much software has bad latencies, but it might also be that the processing of the sensoral inputs from my fingers hitting the key takes longer than the visual response from something appearing on the screen.
- heavenlyblue 7y agoThat’s how I perceive it, too
- eximius 7y agoIf you have a switch that activates before the key is fully depressed (i.e., keycap on board), then in a very real sense it might be the case!
